TRACY EDINGFIELD

Being "tough but caring" while I practiced law, I would continue that philosophy as your state representative. I will steer Kansas towards a brighter future where our legislature actually represents its constituency. Our public officials should have integrity and be creative problem solvers. I will fight fair and hard for you. No Kansan should tolerate bullies, liars, and cheats in our government. My legacy is tied to Kansas’s success, and I refuse to surrender our citizens to extremists or lawbreakers.

Drawing from my extensive legal background, including tenure as a public defender, a prosecutor, judge, litigator, and mediator, I understand our justice system. Beyond my professional accomplishments, I am a dedicated mom, wife, author, and Boy Scout leader. Every role I’ve had has enriched me and made me a better person, someone worthy of your trust. Together, we can lift up every corner of Kansas.

YOUR CANDIDATE

ISSUES I WILL BE CAMPAIGNING FOR:

1. Protecting Reproductive Rights.

I am Catholic, but I’m Pro-Choice. Here’s why: after nearly dying during the delivery of my first child, I cannot, in good conscience, force another to undergo that experience, especially if they don’t want to become a parent.
Deciding when and if one should start a family is complicated—far too complicated for anyone else to second-guess.

2. Expanding Medicaid for 240,000 Kansans, including 45,448 children and 106,450 elders.

Nearly 68,000 Kansans are currently living without health insurance. This alarming number includes hardworking individuals and families who, despite their efforts, find themselves trapped in a healthcare gap. Some are employed in jobs that don’t offer health insurance, while others earn too much to qualify for Medicaid but too little to afford the subsidized coverage under the Affordable Care Act. This gap leaves many Kansans vulnerable and without medical care.

Seventy percent of those who would benefit from Medicaid expansion are the working poor—individuals who are employed, contributing to our economy, but still unable to access basic healthcare services. These are our neighbors, friends, and community members who face the impossible choice between paying for medical bills or meeting essential living expenses. The remaining 30% who would gain coverage include parents with children at home, individuals with disabilities, and college students striving to build a better future. These groups are particularly vulnerable and often face significant health challenges.

3. Fully fund Special Education and General Education.

Our current funding for special education is inadequate, leaving many students without the necessary support to thrive. By investing in special education, we can provide essential resources like specialized instruction and therapies. Similarly, robust funding for general education is crucial. It allows for reduced class sizes, updated materials, and comprehensive curriculums that include STEM, arts, and extracurricular activities. This investment helps bridge the achievement gap and creates equal opportunities for success.

Fully funding education is not just fair—it’s an investment in our state's future. Educated individuals contribute positively to society, pursue higher education, and enter the workforce as skilled professionals. Ensuring equity in education can also break the cycle of poverty and promote social mobility. As your representative, I will prioritize education funding to provide an exceptional education for every child. Together, we can build a brighter future where every student reaches their full potential.

4. I will be your Climate Warrior

Our children deserve a world filled with clean air, pure water, and healthy soil. It's heartbreaking to imagine a future without these essential elements for their well-being.

Protecting our planet for future generations starts with small steps. Every action counts in safeguarding our children's future. Together, we can build a cleaner, brighter future for our state. As your representative, I'm committed to leading the charge.
